The Illinois House and Senate have overridden Governor Bruce Rauner’s vetoes of a five-billion-dollar income tax hike to fund a $36-billion -dollar budget ending the state’s historic two-year budget impasse.

On a special edition of Illinois Lawmakers, host Jak Tichenor talks with lawmakers from both side of the aisle in the House and Senate about how the stalemate finally ended and the work that remains to be done in the aftermath of the crisis. Guests include Rep. Will Davis (D) Chicago, Rep. Terri Bryant (R) Murphysboro, Rep. Greg Harris (D) Chicago, Sen. Republican Leader designate Bill Brady of Bloomington, Sen. Scott Bennett (D) Champaign, and Rep. Tom Demmer (R) Dixon.
